CHAPTER 1107: CHAPTER 741: ANOTHER METHOD, THE PATH OF EXPANSION

Du Feng scratched his head and said: "So what should we do next? Do we need to continue recuperating until we are strong enough?"

However, before Du Feng could finish speaking, Wang Yang interrupted: "This is no longer a matter of strength. Unless we can compete with the entire Demon Country, we will inevitably be discovered once we strike out of Linzhou."

This left Du Feng even more dumbfounded: "If that’s the case, then don’t we have no path to choose?"

Wang Yang shook his head and said: "It’s not that there are no choices, it just requires more effort and thought."

Wang Yang led Du Feng to a table, and as Wang Yang waved his hand, the distribution of the Thirty-Two Cities of Linzhou appeared on the table.

"Including the cities where Bo family has set up strongholds, we currently have control of eighteen cities. But if we strike out of Linzhou, everything we have gained will go up in smoke."

"And you must understand, even if we’ve secretly controlled Tianfeng City and Yuan Water Capital, once we move out of Linzhou, the Demon Country will sweep through in searches, and we will have nowhere to hide by then.

Du Feng was still somewhat, not quite understanding and said: "If this is the case, wouldn’t all roads be cut off? Does Your Majesty still have any other methods?"

Wang Yang smiled and said: "Haven’t you forgotten, besides family and cities, there’s another way for expansion."

Du Feng realized: "Your Majesty means the sect?"

Wang Yang nodded and said: "Like the Green Mountain Sect, their strength is great. As long as they don’t infringe upon the interests of the Demon Country, they naturally won’t be regulated. This is the best direction for power development aside from family and the City Lord Mansion."

"Does Your Majesty intend to create a sect near Linzhou?"

Du Feng was extremely surprised. If so, wouldn’t it require a tremendous amount of time and effort?

Just as Wang Yang said at the beginning, it’s not that there are no other ways.

But this method seemed unbelievable, as creating a sect requires too many conditions.

Moreover, the development of a sect is extremely slow, taking ten to eight years to have a climate or possibly decades to centuries.

By then the Free Heaven Country would no longer have any momentum, and it wouldn’t meet Wang Yang’s previous requirements and expectations for them.

"Du Feng, are you thinking, isn’t such a method contrary to our Free Heaven Country’s philosophy and style?"

Wang Yang seemed to have seen through Du Feng’s thoughts and asked with a smile.

Du Feng paused and said: "Your Majesty is right, previously we only spent two short years taking Tianfeng City, and over three years for Yuan Water Capital."

"Now that Linzhou already has eighteen cities under our control, if we created a sect, it would take us at least ten years to achieve anything."

Wang Yang retorted: "Then let me ask you, whether it is a sect or a family, even the creation of the entire Demon Country, what is the biggest source for rapid development?"

"This..."

For a moment, Du Feng didn’t know how to answer.

Wang Yang continued: "Naturally, it’s endless plunder."

"Think about the beginning of the Demon Country’s development, it must have been when Ten Thousand Demons Stand, only by mutual annexation and plundering can one achieve dominance, whether it is a family or a sect, they cannot escape such a rule."

Du Feng suddenly realized: "Is it that Your Majesty wants to plunder other sects? To expand one’s own force? But if so, it would also attract the attention from State City, and sooner or later the focus will shift to our Free Heaven Country.

Wang Yang laughed heartily: "Who said our Free Heaven Country must exist in the form of bandit Demon Chiefs, why can’t we enter into a sect?"

Du Feng fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he sighed: "I understand, Your Majesty, you want the Free Heaven Country to transform!"

"You only got half of it right."

Wang Yang shook his head and said: "Transformation is only temporary, our Free Heaven Country’s philosophy has always remained unchanged, it’s just putting on another layer of skin."

Du Feng immediately got excited, stood up, and said to Wang Yang: "Your Majesty is indeed extraordinarily wise, with the foundation of our Free Heaven Country, it is not difficult to create a sect near Linzhou. If we can plunder and have a clean background, then it would naturally be invincible, even if the Demon Country sends people they won’t find anything."

Du Feng finally understood the true meaning of Wang Yang.

And Wang Yang was also very clear, even if the Demon Country sent someone, they naturally would find nothing.

Because they would never think that a sect near Linzhou could be related to the Free Heaven Country far in Tianfeng City and Yuan Water Capital.

Moreover, Wang Yang did not intend to transfer the entire army, but to wait until the right moment to transfer.

This way, the development process will be smoother, without too many obstacles and worries.

Du Feng suddenly withdrew his smile: "But Your Majesty, I still have a doubt."

"You can speak."

"Your Majesty also said, our Free Heaven Country is just putting on a layer of skin, sooner or later it will still reveal its sharp edges, how to deal with it then?"

Du Feng’s question was indeed to the point, if only disguising and transitioning, it naturally only deceives oneself.

Because sooner or later, one will have to expose their true identity, and that is the most worth considering place.

"Your question is very good, then let me tell you a story."
